ATV It was 11:30 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 7
25、0, and, as she told the reporter, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem: The airports runway lights were out. Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the
26、 airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually. “Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson told KTOO out of Juneau. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the planes urgent mission: It was a medevac (医疗救护直升机
27、), there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage. Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasnt enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly ev
28、ery home in the village32 of them. Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas (睡衣). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway. The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed saf
29、ely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital. In a world filled with uncertainty, the little communitys positive activism was a big deal. Not so much for Nelso
30、n. As she told the reporter, in Igiugig, coming together “is kind of a normal deal.” 34. What problem did the medevac have? A. It arrived late.B. Its lights were broken.C. It couldnt land safely.D. It needed a local pilot.35. What was Nelsons plan to help?A. Helping the pilot to repair the lights.B.
31、 Calling her neighbors to help together.C. Shining the headlights for the plane to follow.D. Sending the seriously ill girl to the hospital in her ATV.36. What does the story intend to tell us?A. Knowledge starts with practice.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Nothing is impossible to the ma
32、n who will try.D. A small act of kindness can make a big difference.CIn a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.Beginning this fall, a
33、 number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.MIT has
34、 offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain
35、 online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other u
36、niversities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a
37、not-for-profit（非盈利的）organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.37. Ac
38、cording to this text, edX is _.A. a Harvard-MIT platform of free online courses B. a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWare C. a free computer program by MIT and Harvard D. a free program online for universities worldwide38. What is said about online education in the text? A. About 2,000 online courses
39、 have been offered. B. Universities have been trying online courses. C. Over 100 million people have finished courses online. D. Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.39. The underlined part in the text probably means “_”. A. Get ready for the difficulties B. Get prepared to complet
40、e the online courses C. Get ready for this educational change D. Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses40. What can be said about MITx according to the text? A. It is first offered as part of the edX learning program. B. It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program. C. It is a
41、new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT. D. It is a standard to recognize online learners achievement.DWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rath
42、er than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider th
43、e spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. With
44、out knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possess
45、ions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasti
46、ng and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species
47、to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselv
48、es might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.41. Why does t
49、he author mention the questions in Paragraph1? A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.C. To describe the conditions on Earth. D. To introduce points for discussion.42. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2? A. Humans have the tendency to fight. B. Humans are nat
50、ure-born to do so. C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.43. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A. The adaptive ability of humans. B. Resources on the earth. C. Our genetic makeup. D. By-products in space exploration.44. Which
51、of the statements can best sum up the passage? A. Space exploration has created many wonders. B. Space exploration provided the best value for money. C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D. Space exploration may benefit science and technology.第二节 阅读表达 （共4小题，每小题2分，共8分）阅读
52、下面短文和问题，根据短文内容，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease- resistance vegetable seeds to more than 6
53、0 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in 1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate
54、 of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so muc
55、h below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.” Said Groot. At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usu
56、ally from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases.Groot partnered with seed trader Benito
57、Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd that sold successfully. Then they adapted a tomato plant, followed by eggp
58、lants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The
59、tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the companys seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries. The award was announced during a ceremony at the U.S. Department of State hosted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “The r
60、emarkable improvements made in these tropical vegetable seeds helped small farmers in developing nations produce more food and importantly get more income for themselves and their families,” Pompeo said. He added that these seeds fight hunger and help increase economic growth.45. Who is Simon Groot?
